Bus driver needlessly runs pedestrian down.   
Time to ban Buses, because according to DougLogic, the following
accident was totally the fault of the terrorist Bus driver.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7598674.stm

A 14 year old boy  (children bonus points) was needlessly hit by a
terrorist bus driver as the boy tried to cross the road. The bus
driver should have anticpated that the boy would try and cross, and
slowed, as there is in fact a pedestrian crossing there. Instead the
bus driver just carried on and drove straight into the boy. According
to DougLogic, the terrorist bus driver should be imprisoned for this.

I find it amazing that anybody should be allowed to drive such a 
dangerous vehicle if he could not stop in time.

Shall we all join hands now & see if we can hear the hallowed words of Doug?

Indeed, Doug, I would relish your opinion in this in comparison with similar 
instances where someone has recklessly put themselves in front of a car, and 
where you have heaped all the blame on the car driver. Am I going to see 
some consistency in your point of view?

More likely DougSilence or 'cherry picking' but let's wait.

I'm still waiting, but he seems to be too busy creating new, off topic 
threads.
